Columbia Gorge Wineries Passport Weekend

Another bit of "wining" from the Team at Travel the Gorge

Your passport to a great wine time in the Columbia River Gorge can be found at the Columbia Gorge Wine Region website.  The Passport to a World of Wine in 40 Miles, is a great opportunity to visit Gorge wineries, experience Gorge dining options, learn a little bit about wines - and Gorge wines in particular, and take advantage of specials on wine purchases and lodging. 

The official Passport Weekend is april 9-11, 2010, but there are fun wine happenings earlier in the week, too.  Nora's Table at 110 Fifth St in Hood River is offering a six-course, six-wine gourmet experience Wednesday evening, April 7th,  and the Columbia Gorge Community College (541.506.6011) is presenting a class on the affects of Gorge Geology on local wines at Mt. Hood Winery, at 6:30 on Thursday April 8th. 

For lodging, the Columbia Cliff Villas, The Dalles Inn, The Lyle Hotel and Mt. Hood Hamlet Bed and Breakfast are all offering specials or discounted rates for the weekend.

This is historically a lovely weekend in The Gorge and a good time is had by all.  So come Gorge yourself.  Your wine cellar will thank you!
